The larva of this species has been continually observed. 



Theobald mentions it as breeding in standing water near houses 

 at 500 feet altitude ; Aitken reared it in Bombay, the larva; living 

 amongst rotten leaves ; and he found it abundant in the Canara 

 District, living in forest streams. 



One of the most widely distributed species. Mr. Aitken says 

 it bites during the day in the Canara District, whilst Mr. B. G. 

 Corney declares it disappears at night at Fiji (Bera Is.). 



Type in British Museum, in good condition. 



Mr. Theobald has omitted this species from the " Genera 

 Insectorum." Presumably this is an oversight, as he does not 

 account for the species in any way.
